Hey Mr. Iroc-Z...

I've seen your car a few times now and was wondering are those polished rims that you painted the veins in? What color paint did you use? Did you put a clear coat on over the entire rim after paint?

Looks nice!
I love the stance that the 18's give but I'm thinking of going with the 17's so I don't have to cut up my fender lips.

Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
Yes, those are polished rims. I painted the
veins with "Gun Metal Grey". There is no
clear coat on the rims. Putting clear coat
makes the rim look kinda dull. Be aware
that even though I bought the rims polished
from the rim manufacturer, they looked like
****...not at all like what the picture in
ad shows them. I had to have them re-polished professionaly.

I'm sure the 17's will look awesome on your
car. Post some pics when you have them!

Tommy
